Based on the latest market updates and forex strategists' views, the USD to AUD exchange rate could be poised for interesting shifts. FX analysts surveyed by Reuters project that the U.S. dollar, which has been buoyed by strong economic performance and high Treasury yields, is likely to maintain its strength toward the year-end. This resilience has been sustained despite global growth concerns and issues in China affecting overall risk appetite. Nevertheless, looking ahead into 2024, economists forecast a modest softening of the U.S. dollar as the Federal Reserve gears up for a possible cut in interest rates. Such a shift aligns with the wider economic landscape that presents a complex mix of factors, with global growth slowing down and various geopolitical and economic uncertainties exerting influence on currency valuations.
In contrast, most bank forecasts are optimistic about the future trajectory of the Australian dollar, predicting a rise influenced by various factors including interest rates, commodity prices, and the global risk climate. The interest rate differential has historically pressured the AUD, especially during periods when the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) lagged in rate hikes. However, the market view suggests that as other countries may cut rates ahead of Australia, the gap in interest rates is expected to narrow, which is likely to bolster the AUD’s value in 2024. Additionally, the AUD has shown a change in course as of November, when it began a trend upward to approximately 0.66 USD, propelled by the speculation that the U.S. interest rate cycle had reached its zenith while the RBA still had further rate hikes in store. The connection between the AUD and global risk appetite, along with changes in commodity prices and trade policies, particularly for Australia's major export such as iron ore, continues to be a significant indicator for the currency's outlook. Notably, the current USD to AUD exchange rate of 1.5047 is 3.1% below the 3-month average of 1.5524, with a relatively stable range, suggesting that market participants will be closely watching for any shifts in the economic and policy narratives that could prompt more significant currency moves.

Will the US dollar rise against the Australian dollar?
It is almost impossible to predict what an exchange rate will do in the future, the best approach is to monitor the currency markets and transact when an exchange rate moves in your favour.
To help with this you can add USD/AUD to your personalised BER Smart Rate Tracker to track and benefit from currency movements.
Rather than requiring you to set a target rate, our FX Alerts work differently. Once you add a currency pair for tracking in your watchlist we can select to be notified daily for any UP▲DOWN▼HIGH▲LOW▼ alerts over a range of periods over the recent 90 days.
